Lowdown, once again 

Well I'm strugglin' now 

To get by, my friend 



It's keepin' me up 

Late at night 

I can't settle down 

My honky tonk life 



Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four 

With the blues on my back 

And a bottle on the floor 

Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down 

'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown 



And she told me, "It'll be OK, 

Things'll soon get better one day" 

But I don't see how 



Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four 

With the blues on my back 

And a bottle on the floor 

Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down 

'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown 



And she told me, "It'll be OK, 

Things'll soon get better one day" 

But I don't see how 

'Cause I'm too lowdown
